The magazine is distributed in print and digital formats and is carried by platforms such as EBSCO, Flipster and library magazine directories.
Background
Throughout its history, Faith Today has experienced several editorial shifts. In the 1980s, Brian Stiller, then EFC president, served for many years as editor-in-chief. He described the magazine as “the evangelical Maclean’s” due to its national scope and focus on leadership issues. In 1999, managing editor Marianne Meed Ward resigned following proposed changes to the magazine’s mission and editorial guidelines, which she argued conflicted with journalistic standards of presenting opposing viewpoints. In 2000, journalist Gail Reid was appointed editor as part of her role as EFC communications director.Faith Today has also been cited in scholarship on Canadian evangelicalism, civil religion, and public theology.
